Bison Management Call to Action by Bear Creek Council
Bison Management Call to Action by Bear Creek Council
- Assist Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) with patrols in the Gardiner and West Yellowstone areas.
- Work the Gardiner connections
- Support/encourage the Governor and his staff
1. BFC
We asked the BFC what help they needed and we agreed to spread the word through BCC membership.
ACTIONS:
- They welcome anyone to help them with patrols—looking for buffalo, which ones are at risk of capture, helping to haze where feasible, witnessing and if appropriate helping hunters.
- Ride along with them to see how they work.
- Call them to find out what areas need watching.
- Volunteer to help in West Yellowstone, where conditions and hazing activities are very different from Gardiner.
- Gardiner camp: 484-9161; West Yell camp: 646-0070; cell phone in Gardiner area: 928-660-3497
2. Gardiner Work
- Encourage the Chamber’s idea of holding a public meeting on the issue; help them organize it, invite CUT president Kate Gordon, NPS officials, Governor or representative. Julia Page will see about firming up chamber commitment; Mike Leach can help with some organizing; Carolyn will let Gov office know event is planned.
- ACTION:
Any citizen can call or stop by the chamber office to let them know you want this meeting to happen. If you are a chamber member and/or business owner, be sure to mention that.
- ACTION:
- Write an editorial piece about “tips for living with bison”—Heidi Anderson and George Nell will work on that.
- Emphasize to the press and local media that the bison issue directly affects our most important industries—tourism and recreation; Gardiner encourages wildlife; bison are good for our town; current management actions have the potential to hurt our businesses. Julia to ask another business-owner to write a letter; Sarah Richey and MacNeil Lyons will also write letters.
- ACTION:
Other BCC members are encouraged to write letters also.
- ACTION:
- Let Yellowstone National Park Superintendent know that Gardiner citizens are concerned about bison management operations; this in part can help counter the phone calls they are receiving from CUT members demanding the bison be removed.
- ACTION:
Call the Superintendent’s office or YNP Public Affairs, write letters, fill out a public comment form next time you are at the Albright Visitor Center in Mammoth.
- ACTION:
3. Governor Schweitzer
Bear Creek Council will be contacting the governor’s office to let them know we support their recent actions (stopping DOL participation in hazing in YNP on north side), we encourage them to work with CUT on stopping the grazing, and we encourage the governor to open discussions about how to stop/revise/change this bison management plan, which isn’t working well.
ACTION:
- Carolyn will call Hal Harper (Governor’s office) about all of above, and emphasize we want the governor to come to Gardiner to talk about this issue.
- Mike Leach will write a letter about all of the above, but emphasize we want to be supportive of changes that the governor has started.
- Mike has already asked for a meeting with Hal Harper in February.
- Bob Lindstrom has already written the governor as a private citizen.
- Any and all members are encouraged to write, call, email the governors office with comments about any of the above. Again, if you are a business owner, you might receive more attention by talking about how the management actions affect your business, the public perception of our town, etc.
